SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Theory of Operation
The Hetronic radio remote control system includes a
transmitter and receiver. The transmitter electronically
generates a carrier frequency which allows it to
communicate with the receiver.
4
When the transmitter signal is no longer sensed by the
receiver, the Time Out process begins. The Time Out
period is set to 450 msec at the factory. If the receiver
does not establish contact with the transmitter within
that time period, it goes into the Safe Mode. In Safe
Mode, the receiver shuts off activation power to the
output relays and activates the E-stop function.To
restart the system, be sure the transmitter signal is
active and sensed by the receiver. Then press the
Start/Horn pushbutton.

RECEIVER LOCATION
Select a position for the receiver that provides
protection from violent impact from debris or thrown
materials and is easily accessible. The receiver
housing is rated IP65 and can withstand direct water jet
spray and is protected against penetration of dust.
There are different sizes and types of receiver
housings. All receivers must be free from metal
obstructions on at least 3 sides with the antenna
pointing straight up.
• Depending on customer specification, the
receiver can be operated with AC, DC or both.
• Receiver must be protected from corrosive gases
or liquids
• Receiver must be protected from ambient
temperatures outside the range of -18º to 158º F
(-25º to +75º C)
Receiver Production Number
Locate the Hetronic Production number decal on the
receiver housing. This number is required when
Hetronic is called for any service or parts information.
Be sure the decal is easily accessible when the
receiver is mounted to the equipment. Please make a
note of the Production and System numbers in the
boxes provided in the Introduction Section of this
manual.
7. Lay out the wire runs. Use #16 AWG (size 1.5
mm2 metric) minimum for power wiring.
8. If the receiver includes an attached antenna,
mount the receiver so that the antenna points
straight up. The area around the antenna should
be free of obstructions, especially metal.
The receiver wiring is critical for proper system
operation. Make all connections with good quality
contacts or solder joints to ensure proper electrical
contact.
Supply voltage and ground wiring are crucial and must
be connected to reliable connecting circuitry. Do not
use a chassis ground for this equipment. The ground
wire must be connected directly to the crane/machine’s
ground.
The output control signals to controls should be routed
separately from any wiring that could produce transient
voltage interference. Interference or "induced voltage
spikes" could cause erratic performance of the
controls.

 ERGO TRANSMITTERS
Each Hetronic radio remote control system is delivered
with 3 AA batteries and a battery adapter case. The
Ergo is designed to use typical AA batteries that can be
purchased separately. An optional battery charger with
rechargeable batteries is available from Hetronic.
Different charger versions can use an 110/120 VAC, 12
VDC direct wired, or 12 VDC with cigarette lighter
connection for the power source. See "Maintenance
Section" of this manual. Contact Hetronic or your
Dealer for more information.
Please note that the actual configuration of each radio
may be designed specifically per customer
requirements and can vary from the illustrations shown
in this manual. Refer to the technical documentation
provided with each system for the actual design, layout
and components.
WARNING: The transmitter coder settings
are set at the factory and should be changed
by Hetronic service personnel only. Incorrectly
changing the settings of the transmitter coder
board could result in damage to equipment,
serious injury or death.
FREQUENCY AND ADDRESS SETTINGS
Each Hetronic radio remote control system contains a
radio frequency (RF) unit. Each system consists of a
transmitter RF unit and a receiver RF unit.
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY OR DAMAGE -
Operating the transmitter without its antenna
could destroy the final stage of the RF
module. DO NOT attempt to change the
Hetronic pre-set frequency or the 20-bit
address. Personal injury and property
damage could result from transmission
interference and may void the warranty.
The address settings are pre-set at the factory in the
ADMO module. However, if the transmitter coder
board, the base board, or if the entire transmitter or
receiver are replaced, the ADMO address must match
the system.
IMPORTANT: If the ADMO settings of the transmitter
and receiver do not match, the system will not function.

STD-402 RF-SYNTHESIZER
Description of the Functions
The frequency range of the STD-402 synthesizer
extends from 429.2500 MHz to 429.7375 Mhz. The
radio module works on one of the 40 different
frequencies. The frequencies can be individually
selected, or can be separated into four groups with 10
channels each. The individual frequency or groups are
selected via a 6-pin DIP switch array.
NOTE: Operation of the RF Unit STD-402R is
approved by TELEC for use in Japan, and there are no
additional licensing requirements.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect all power to the transmitter
and receiver before making any change to the
frequency.
TX
ON
1 2 3 4 5 6
Description of the Transmitter Module
The RF unit has a permanently affixed antenna and
receives input power and TTL data by the 3-pin Dubox
connector (see picture).
Description of the Receiver Module
Depending on the DIP switch array configuration, the
RF Unit continuously scans for valid frequency
channels, or scans for an individual frequency. In the
continuous scan mode, it locks onto a valid frequency
channel once it receives an input signal on the 2-pin
Dubox connector (see picture). The RF unit has two
SMB diversity antenna inputs. Input power, and TTL
signal output, is provided by the 3-pin Dubox connector
(see picture).
Scan Mode
Upon power up, the RF Unit scans for an open
frequency channel depending on the DIP switch array
configuration. Once an open frequency channel is
found, the RF unit locks onto that channel, and begins
transmitting data.
Individual Frequency Mode
Upon power up, the RF Unit checks to see if the
individually selected frequency channel is clear. If the
frequency channel is clear, the RF unit begins
transmitting data. If the frequency channel is not clear,
the RF unit will not transmit data.
